List of compositions by Maurice Ravel

(Redirected from Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Fauré)

This is a complete list of compositions by Maurice Ravel, initially categorized by genre, and sorted within each genre chronologically in order of date the composition was completed. Catalogue "M" numbers were assigned by the musicologist Marcel Marnat according to date of composition. Arrangements by Ravel of his own works were assigned the "M" number of the original followed by a letter (a, b, c, etc.). Arrangements by Ravel of other composers' works or of "traditional" music were assigned a separate "MA" number, in order of date of arrangement.

Maurice Ravel, ca. 1925
